Investment sees ISO Chemie boost support for self-builders
I
SO Chemie has invested further in supporting self-builders and retrofi t designers with a new initiative at the NSBRC in Swindon. The move will see a permanent static showroom established, enabling the company to showcase its thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system WINFRAMER Type 1 and Hybratec multi-functional joint sealing tapes and the easy-to-use and energy effi ciency saving benefi ts these systems provide. A key feature of ISO Chemie’s investment will be to provide advice on effective fenestration installation techniques - displaying WINFRAMER will show how it allows windows to be installed in the insulation area, overcoming thermal bridges. A large amount of heat is lost from a building through the gap between
almost a quarter (21%) of the total air loss of the average house, and adding the oints between walls, fl oors and ceilings brings the fi gure up to . any argue that airfl ow is desirable, however Andy Swift explained that you can eliminate of heat loss while still retaining some natural air fl ow. The statistics illustrate that in most
the windows and the surrounding wall, as thermal imagery clearly shows. This gap is necessary to allow for the natural expansion of the window frame throughout the year, what isn’t necessary, however, is the loss of heat. Both doors and windows account for
residential properties, heat losses are overwhelmingly replaced by artifi cial heating rather than through solar energy or internal warmth. This means that reducing heat losses in the home is paramount in the battle to lower energy consumption. Visitors to ISO Chemie at NSBRC will be able to advance their understanding of airtightness and related issues.
